After two tie votes Almond re-elected regional chairman RETIRING SECHELT School Board Chairman Celia Fisher laughs as Trustee Maureen Clayton presents her with a corsage. Last Thursday was Fisher's last official meeting. As one of their initial acts of office, the newly-elected Gibsons council decided to delay their participation in the Gibsons vicinity study until further meetings are held with the Regional District to discuss what Alderman Ted Hume termed "the so- called ground rules". The vicinity study is a joint venture of Sechelt adopts guidelines for community plan Guidelines for creating a Sechelt Community Plan were approved by the village council last Wednesday. The program, submitted by Sechelt Planner Doug Roy, Includes three phases and calls for completion and adoption of a plan by October 31, 1978. Alderman Joyce Kolibas, Roy, ViUage Clerk Tom Wood and a number of as yet unselected representatives of business and residential areas of the village will constitute a committee to draft the plan. Roy stressed tliat it Is important that public participation be encouraged at every step In the development of the plan. Regional District planners will be consulted in an advisory capacity. The first phase of the program, which Roy fluid should l>e" completed by March 31, would be a review of the village's planning history and of the Sechelt Vicinity Plan as It relates to the village. Partlclspants in this phase would ulso seek ���See Page A-3 RCMP increasing road checks for holiday season 'Tls the season of eggnog and spiced wine, but local pollen are doing their best to keep Christmas cheer off tlie streets. .Starting tills week both Gibsons and Secholt RCMP will Increase Uie number of roadblocks set up to catch drinking drivers. The roadblocks will continue until nfter the New Year. According to Sgt. Ron Nicholas of Gibsons, his men have noticed n growing number of cars led ln hotel parking lots overnight. "I hope Uils means people are becoming mor* ��w��re of their drinking and are taking a Luxl home," he said lust week, "It's an encouraging sign. We want [M'ople lo stay off the road when they're drunk." Persons convicted of Impaired driving offences face a maximum penalty of a $2,000 fine, six months in Jail, or both. to withdraw council's further notice passed the Regional District and the village and is part of the on-going process Of drawing up settlement plans for all areas on the Sunshine Coast. At the December 6 council meeting Hume, as chairman of the planning committee, said he was recommending the village withdraw from the study "until we have had a chance to meet with the village planner and the Regional District." Hume suggested that the village not attend the first meeting of the vicinity committee, scheduled for the next night. The alderman said he had contacted Regional District Planner Paul Moritz and asked him to cancel the meeting. Moritz refused to do so, Hume told council. "He's very concerned, very upset. They don't wish to cancel it, but I move we don't attend. I feel the public at the last election showed .their concern" about the regional board. Hume said he was worried that recent changes in the Municipal Act have made tlie original guidelines for vicinity studies obsolete. He also said he does not agree with a decision tliat no politicians be part of the committee. "I feel we (Gibsons) should participate in the vicinity plan but not until wc have full knowledge of what can happen," Hume said. His motion support until unanimously. loiter, Hume told The Tlmes,"I feel within our own boundaries we should lie our own masters." He was concerned, he snld, tliat the Regional District would have final say over village bylaws If the vicinity study were approved. Acfttffrling to Moritz, changes ln the Municipal Act will not affect Uie vicinity study. "I can understand, with the new council, they want to sit down and dl.scu.sa exactly what they're getting themselves Into, but the (December 7) meeting Is Just an organizational meeting. There will l>c no final decision made on nny thing." Mortiz said it was decided earlier this year tliat "because of friction between politicians on Ixith the regional board and the council" thnt no political representatives would sit on the'committee. That was, he said, one of the two ground rules of Uie study, which covers the area stretching from Langdale to Seaview Cemetery. The committcfl'itfnher general guideline "wns to work towards a vicinity plan," Moritz snld. The study Is already several months Ix'liliid selkcdulc, It has lieen Ik>|mmI to hold Uie first public meeting Uils spring. The December 7 organizational meeting of the vicinity study was told on schedule and (lower Point Hond resident Kevin Ryan was elected chairman. The next meeting will be held In the new year. Both Moritz nnd Hume said they hope to liave settled their differences by thnt time. Roberts Creek Director Harry Almond was re-elected regional board chairman last Wednesday, but it required three; rounds of balloting for him to overcome a challenge from Area B Director Peter Hoemberg. Selection of a chairman, the first/ question considered by the Regional District's newly-installed board of< directors, produced two consecutive 4-4: votes and came close to being decided by the flip of a coin. FoUowing the first tie vote, Regional (District Secretary-treasurer Ann iPressley, who was chairing the meeting in her capacity as returning officer, said uncomfortably, "WeU, I guess it falls to me to decide." She asked for a coin to settle the question. ��� Section 105 of the Municipal Act, the act which governs Regional District; procedures, states that "if there is an: equality of votes in an election (for Mayor or Alderman), the Returning Officer ShaU determine which candidate is elected." a Area C Director Charles Lee, however, \ No reprieve for Gibsons business a '~yy *���,. ' Local stovebuilder Larry Girard made one final appeal to Gibsons council last Tuesday in an attempt to remain in business. But by the weekend the village had posted a cease-and-desist order against Girard and his partner, David Kydd. The two men were ordered to vacate the old Pasco Fibreglass building on Seaview Lane after solicitors told the village the company was UlegaUy located., Girard'and Kydd were given,a tern-, porary business licence last summer on, the understanding the property would be rezoned to Marine from Comprehensive Development (CDA). However, the rezoning feU through after nearby residents complained of noise coming from the stove" ���sbt>p. ..... - ""���.,. Girard told the council last week that he and Kydd have been unable to find a suitable re-location site. "We're going to be thrown out in the street. Is that the end of the business? " he asked. Newly-instaUed Mayor Lome Blain apologized, telling Girard "I'm afraid our hands are tied. I'm sorry, we are all sorryl" In other business, the council gave first reading to zoning Bylaw 311. The area along the east side of Marine Drive from the federal wharf to the bus stop will become a Comprehensive Development Zone 1. It Is now part of a CDA zone. This new designation will permit business, professional and service buildings and residential suites below ground floor level. It will prohibit restaurants, cafes, clubs, supermarkets, and some types of offices with major parking requirements from locating along that section of Marine Drive. The bylaw will also rezone the Ritz Hotel from residential to Commercial 2 property. The lot on the corner of Truman and Dougal roads will be rezoned from Residential 3 to permit duplex housing. The lot at the corner of Reed and North Roads will be rezoned from Residential 4 to Residential 2. A public hearing on the bylaw Is scheduled for January 4. objeetgbfthat aUowing Pressley to break the deadlock was "improper." A second balloting was then taken, with the same result. The meeting was then recessed, an aU the directors except Almond and Hoemberg retreated to another room to debate the matter privately. Returning 25 minutes later, the directors cast a third vote and Almond was elected 5-3. Although the voting was by secret ballot, Almond was reportedly supported by Lee, Gibsons Director Jack MarshaU and Area A Director Joe Harrison in the first two rounds, while Hoemberg won the votes of Sechelt Director Morgan Thompson Area E Director George Gibb A Christmas feast of dance, drama and music Christmas programs are scheduled this week and next for each of the district's elementary and secondary schools.

Bowen school delay could lead to 'something dramatic' School Board Trustee Claus Speikermann has served notice that Bowen Island residents intend to do "something dramatic" if the provincial government does not quickly approve construction funds for the Island's community school. Speikermann's announcement came at last Thursday's school board meeting after Secretary-Treasurer Roy Mills informed trustees the Ministry of Education will not allocate funds for the small school until the 1978-79 fiscal year. The capital cost ls estimated at Just over half a milUon dollars. "We have our act together," said Speikermann, a Bowen Island resident. "If by spring the government hasn't approved the Bowen Island spending, then we start a media campaign, and Bowen Islanders can do that better than anyone else." For over a year now, legal complications have delayed purchase of a new school site. The board, backed by elected officials on the island, recently appealed to Ihe ministry for expropriation of one piece of property. A second choice has been tied up by court litigation between Glenmont Holdings and Union Steamships. According to Mills, the only local, major capital expenditure approved by the government for the next fiscal year Is completion of the new Pender Harbour School. "Other projects have all been designated priority items but marked 'for further discussion,' " he said. Projects the board had hoped to complete next year Included the Bowen Inland school, sprinklers for Madeira Park Elementary, an Elphinstone Secondary sprinkling system, and alarm system, and a sower for Chatelech Junior Secondary. and Area F Director Bernie MuUigan. Mulligan reportedly shifted his vote on the third round to give the election to Almond. In other action at Wednesday's statutory board meeting, directors went through the motions of appointing Morgan Thompson as director from the Village of Sechelt. The appointment was required inasmuch as no candidate for the office was successful in winning election as a Sechelt alderman. In such a situation, the board has the power of appointment, but directors traditionally have simply approved the candidate selected by the village council. Almond made only one committee appointment following his election, naming Gibb to head a newly-formed publicity committee. Almond said he felt the committee was necessary because "the function of the Regional District has been misunderstood quite a lot." He said he was deferring appointment of other committee chairmen until he had an. opportunity to discuss with the new directors their interests and experience in various areas. The oath of office was administered to new directors Harrison, Lee, Gibb and Marshall and to returning director Thompson. ' To pay or not to pay-- that's the question Hugh Baird's mischief has Sechelt aldermen squirming in their official chairs trying to figure out a way to bring him into line. Baird, owner of Specialty Machine Works, has refused to pay for his village business Ucense since May. Hews he's willing to pay, but first lie would Uke: ��� an explanation of the business license rate structure, with proven examples; ���a "practical treatise" on the benefits attached to paying the Ucense and, r- the number and names of other village businesses which have not paid the tax. Baird admits that he enjoys "stirring things up a Uttle", but he also says that he's serious about his objections. The village wants only $20 every six months from him for the license, but Baird says, even at that rate, he's not sure he gets his money's worth from the village. ViUage Clerk Tom Wood last Wednesday presented council with a list of eight businesses whose licenses are overdue since May. Four are contractors, who are presumed not to be currently operating in the village. Aldermen decided to send the remaining businesses a letter giving them .30 days to renew and advising that there is a fine of $25 to $500 assessable upon conviction for failure to pay. Baird says he is drafting a letter to council about the matter and that he has decided to enclose a $20 cheque "as a gesture". But he still wants an answer to his questions. LIKE waiting for tho Jury to como back," remarked Peter Hoemberg last Wednesday as he, left, Regional District SccretaryTreaaurer Ann Pressley and Director Harry Almond Bat out a 25 minute caucus by other directors, who were trying to choose between Hoemberg and Almond for chairman. Almond won by a 5-3 vote on the third ballot.

Happily, that's not the case for Sechelt School Board Chairman Celia Fisher, who last week conducted her last board meeting. Fisher, who has been a board member for four years and chairman since 1.975, leaves behind her a, commendable record of progressive change and of harmonious workings among the various levels of district employees. This is not to say that the Sechelt School District has no problems. The district may well face a serious financial pinch in the upcoming year, but that's largely Victoria's doing. Fisher and the other trustees who have served with, her deserve the respect and the gratitude of the community for the job they have done and, perhaps more importantly, for the manner in which they have done that job. We find it significant that one of the reasons behind Fisher's decision not to seek re-election was her desire to have more time for volunteer classroom work. This sort of grassroots participation in the district's schools is a key to the current board's success. We wish Celia Fisher well in her future endeavours, and we say thank you for all the time, the energy and the concern you have invested in this community. Reflections A fire inside By Vern Giesbrecht 'This better not have anything to do with you.' Poet .and prose writer Peter Trower, Coast News editor John BurnsideN and Raincoast Chronicles editor Howard White visited Elphinstone Secondary last Wednesday to talk to senior students with an interest in writing. For some of the Students, the workshop organized by EngUsh teacher Geoffrey Madoc-Jones provided their first introduction to "real" writers ��� living, breathing persons who work at stringing together words in pleasing and useful patterns. Judging from the comments of the visiting writers at lunch, the encounter was mutuaUy beneficial. As they relaxed between workshop sessions, Trower, White and Burnside were voluble and carefree, full of anecdotes and raucous laughter, but each of them knows the lonely hours of toU that are the writer's lot. If they stirred the students' interest and enthusiasm, I hope they also explained that writihg is not' always glamorous, that words don't always dance off the typeWriter keys, that the creative muse is often asleep. We need more good writers, especiaUy young people who can write clearly and with passion about things that matter deeply to them. At a workshop I attended last summer, John Allen of the Reader's Digest said a writer who wants to accompUsh something worthwhile must have "a fire inside." Charles Johnson, a poet and professor at the University of Washington, said, "You have to believe in something, in values...You must be human, compassionate...and tell the truth in the least harmful way." Another speaker, also talking about "inspirational" writing, said it is writing that "makes a difference." What a difference writing has made! It's a cliche, but an accurate one, that writing has had enormous Influence on human history, has shaped and transformed the way people have lived and thought over the centuries. The Bible. Dus Kapital. The Origin of aSpeclcs. Faust. Pilgrim's Progress. The Brothers Karamazov. Gulliver's Travels. Oliver Twist. 1984. The Collected Sayings of Chairman Mao. For good or ill, these books and hundreds more liave "made a difference" In the lives of people and nations on this planet. I don't aspire to be another Goethe or Dickens. Their special gifts come rarely and have bypassed me, but I think it's the hopo of reaching someone, of writing something that counts, that drives me on when every fresh rejection slip stabs me in the heart and the growing stack of unpublished manuscripts In the drawer reproaches me. I remember tlie college students who laughed nt the humorous article 1 wrote years ago, readers who were moved to tears or anger by something 1 wrote, people who were entertained or Informed or comforted. Maybe I'll throw out everything I've written recently the numerous stories about Imaginary people doing Imaginary things, the trivial poems, the reminiscences and start again, or pcrlinps I'll be able to salvage a page or two.

It is this knowledge of such things grows as the caring like the blazes that counts." pieCes of the puzzle graduaUy faU into Between the lines On autonomy By Dennis Fitzgerald i The best researched predictions of editors and meteorologists gang aft a-gley, as Robbie Burns might have put it. I reported in this column a couple of weeks ago that Peter Hoemberg looked to have the regional board chairmanship in his pocket. And so it appeared at that time. It is apparent now, however, Uiat I badly misjudged the extent to which Area A Director Joe Harrison's advisors view Hoemberg as synonymous wlUi the sort of centralized regional authority which they so strenuously oppose, Hoemberg atltanpted last Wednesday to rid himself of a major political handicap by informing the board of his Intention to relinquish his interest in Explan, a consulting firm which some directors viewed as a potentially serious conflict of interest. He undon* iedly believed thnt action would be suff'jicnt to overcome the reservations of r..y wavering supporters. It Just didn't work out that way. Explan may have been a matter of some concern ln Area A, but It wasn't Hoemberg's major Image problem there. It will \>�� Interesting to watch Harrison's votes In the future. Many of his priorities ��� his concern with environmental Issues, for Instance ���--��� seem to closely parallel Hoemberg's, but his concern for area autonomy may frequently put him on the other side of the fence. lt ls possible Uiat Uils issue of autonomy may play a more critical role Ln development of board policy than any other fnctor. It's a hard shot to cnll, though. "Tho government which governs least ls the government which governs liest" Is a catchy tune but difficult to dance to. Many of those Issues which look so black and whlto to nn outsider ure actually coloured by Innumerable sliades of grey, and one of the first things a new politician is likely to lose In that purity of vision which carried him Into office. Political decision-making Is much moro often a process of amending, modifying und compromising Uian It is a simple matter of straight up or down voting. That's a fact thnt the public doesn't much appreciate, nnd the source of a bond of sympathy which tends to grow even between politicians who hold bnslcnlly different philosophies. That's probably the reason why Area V Director Hemic Mulligan was reportedly willing to support Hoemberg, a frequent poliUcal opponent. Hoemberg, although definitely a man of strong opinions, has a talent for the sort of synthesis that political decisions are made of. It's a useful skill for a chairman to have, and one of which Harry Almond has thus far demonstrated no great mastery. Almond reportedly assured some directors Uiat if re-elected he would put more energy into the Jobs than he has heretofor. He'll have his work cut out for him If the uppermost concern of most of his fellow directors Is to protect their constituents from the regional board. My first thought was that it might be useful for the new board to sit down and attempt to hash out exactly what this idea of area autonomy meaas, so Uiey can pull together rather than against each other. My second thought, however, was that the concept Is too amorphous to practically define in any such discussion. If the reglonul board produces a new relationship system for Its members, it will likely evolve from practical problem solving rather thnn from nnybody's notion of the way tilings ought to be.

Opening the season is a study of cerebral palsy, which afflicts one person in every thousand, often hiding the individual behind a mask of distorted, un- controUable features.

So everyone, let's salute aU those very special people. They are what makes our community strong. Wishing one and aU a Merry Christmas season and many blessings in the year to come. Betty Wray, Volunteer Co-ordinator, Sunshine Coast Community Resource Society. Our children are watching us Editor, The Times: Thanks to Kerra Lockhart for her studies on teen age drinking in our community *,Judging from the articles, from a look at the weekly court docket and exposure to many homes in conflict, there are young people with problems that involve alcohol. But the answer Ues within the community itself. As the articles point out, the young people take their parents as examples. An active discouragement by aU parents of their own chUdren drinking and also a positive example on the part of the parents could do two things: it could drasticaUy aUeviate this problem and then give us all the manpower and money needed to provide a variety of positive alternates. If each of the 600 Ucenced seats Sgt. Nicholas totaled had only $5 spent in them each evening, it could total $3,000 in one evening, $18,000 in one week or $72,000 in one month. How long would it take to put up a swimming pool, for instance, in each community? Parents, chUdren of aU ages are watching us. Are we willing to look at ourselves? '.."' .' Probation Officer.

Completing accesses will aid local economy Editor, The Times: The foUowing letter was sent to the Honourable A.V. Fraser, minister of highways and public works. Dear Sir: This letter is to inform you of the lack of completed public beach accesses and the negative attitudes of the adjoining property owners. On Highway 101 between Sechelt Village and Redrooffs Road turn off, Uiere are 18 public beach accesses with only four completed to Uie water's edge. With the lack of boat launching in this area or any means of the public getting to the beach, I would suggest Uiat it would be a great asset for tourism and the general public if some of these roads were completed as a winter works project. This would also create some employment in tlie months that lt is so needed. The adjoining property owners definitely are not in favour of these accesses being opened. However, I feel they have been hidden from the general public long enough. ���lack Anderson, Sechelt No problem with snow this time Editor, The Times: The following letter was sent to Mr. A.V. Fraser, minister of highways, Victoria. Dear Mr. Fraser: I would respectfully request a reply to my letter dated November 26th, 15177 concerning the disgraceful road conditions on Uie Sunshine Coast during the snowfall on Wednesday, November 23rd. To date, I liave not hnd the courtesy of a reply from your Department. I would like to comment fuvourubly on the excellent reaction to the present snowfall being experienced (December flth and 0th). Although snow fell throughout the night, the roadi were in good condition this morning, and, 1 believe, very few drivers experienced difficulty. Tlie roads appeared to huve been well salted during the night. Pcrliups,' ln future, wc could look for this standard as tho rule and not the exception.

MuUigan said Metzler has agreed to accept the job. He said he recently submitted Metzler's name to his area planning committee and that "so far aU the feedback I've gotten has been positive." MuUigan said that because of expanding business responsibtiities he is attempting to cut back on his regional board duties and that he wants an alternate to assume some of that burden. Metzler was soundly defeated by Jack MarshaU last month in his bid for reelection to a second term as Gibsons' representative to the board. MuUigan had previously reached an agreement with Ed Johnson, who retired this year as Area E director, whereby Johnson would take the job of alternate director for Area F. Johnson, however, changed his mind after the November 19 elections, saying he didn't beUeve he could work effectively with the new board. MuUigan's previous alternate, Don Head, resigned to accept a place ori the Gibsons Vicinity Plan committee.

The Pender Harbour Sharpies managed to retain the Travelling Trophy by defeating the Sportsman Club 18-7. There was the usual friendly atmosphere with good sportsmanship prevailing throughout/ the entire tournament. Before the dart play commenced the hosts provided a brunch of cold meats, cheeses and pickles, then later served a delicious smorgasbord which was enjoyed by all. As an added test for the Shooters, several turkey and ham shoots were held with Pender Harbour winning most of the prizes. Big Al Christie, Eric Antilla, Harry Morrison and Phyllis Tncimas-were the lucky shooters. A return tournament is planned in Pender Harbour in the early spring. As a point of "Darts" interest, on December ,8 at the RC Legion Br. 112 Mixed Dart League, Ed McAllister shot his first 180, plus a 140 and several 100s. Burdett Thomas said that Santa Claus came early for Ed and they wish he would stop practising at home as it's making the rest of them look bad. It leaves Ed with "High Score" for the men and Irene Hodgson with 121 "High for the ladies. COMMUNITY CONCERT On Sunday, December 18, there will be a PH Community Concert at the Madeira Park Community Hall at 7:30 p.m. Those taking part in this Christmas Concert are: the Elementary School students, Pender Harbour Qommunity Choir, PH Community Band, the Primary Choir School students plus the Stage Band from the Elementary School.

COMPLAINT DEPT. I have been getting requests to print in this column a specific complaint that is coming from many people in Pender Harbour. It is "Why are out-of-town people being hired for jobs in this area when there are local qualified folks who are in need of " employment available, have applications in, yet are turned down?" Apparently the PH Health Clinic has hired someone from Sechelt, but it is the PH people who support lt. These people want an answer.

Starting in January.are Beginner's Guitar, a Parenting Group, and a Drop In Centre for Senior Citizens. The Pre School Library and Story Time will continue, and the Community Library will be reopening. The successful Teen Nights will continue on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and teen trips to Vancouver (planned in conjunction with the Fitness Service), are scheduled for each of the months of January, February and March. For information on the programs at Wilson Creek, or to pass on ideas for new activities, phone the community worker, April Struthers, at 885-2309. Two years ago, the Elphinstone New Horizons group came up with the wonderful idea of compiling a book on the history of Roberts Creek. They then appointed a Roberts Creek history conv mittee. Next month the results of the committee's efforts will be published in a 192-page book titled, "Remembering Roberts Creek." The first chairman of the committee was Neva Newman, but Neva moved back east, so Mr. Charles Merrick, the present chairman, was then appointed, with Mrs. Mildred Forbes as secretary and Dr. Ralph Woodsworth as editor. In addition to the executive, five other diligent folks did the research for the book: Miss Ena Harold (citizen of the year for 1976), Jessie Brock, Tom Walton, Lillian Shields and Mrs. Betty Merrick. Mr. Harry Roberts and Mrs. Copeland' (formerly Roberts) contributed much information for the book. Roberts Creek is named after the Roberts family, who were the earliest pioneers here. "Remembering Roberts Creek" contains stories from the years 1889 to 1955. Unfortunately, the book won't be available until the latter part of January, but you may purchase a gift certificate in time for Christmas giving. The certificates are redeemable as soon as the committee receives the book from the publisher. The price is $6.95, and certificates are available from Mr. Charles Merrick at 886-9863 or Mr. Tom Walton at 886-7297. Among the pages of "Remembering Roberts Creek," you'll find some delightful stories of early settlers, schools, churches, music groups, community hall activities, histories of the wharf and development of The Creek. Also, there are poems by Hubert Evans and maps from the times before much logging had been done in the area. Sounds like it will be a real treasure! All the labour of compiling this book was volunteered and the proceeds are to be turned over to the Elphinstone New Horizons fund. The Elphinstone New Horizons group is among many such groups that began with grants from the federal government. Our local group enables many folks to get together for a number of social activities who may not or could no have gotten out before the group was started. One does not have to be a senior to belong. Everyone is welcome. CHRISTMAS CONCERT This ; year, the Roberts Creek Elementary School's annual Christmas Concert is a production of the "Nutcracker Suite." Mi*. Roy Robinson, who is the grade three teacher cum music teacher, is the executive producer of this giant undertaking. After the performance, there will be carolling for anyone who would like fa participate. Mrs. Michelle Bruce will accompany on the violin and Mrs. Storey on the piano. Michelle has played her violin for the kids several times in the classroom, much to. the kids'delight. Those of us who have attended the school's Christinas Concert in previous years know what a treat we're in for. Those who have never seen one are most welcome to attend. You needn't have a child or grandchild in the school. It would be nice to see more of our seniors there this year. The kids love an audience to perform to. There will be two performances, one at 1:30.p.m. Monday and one at 7;30 p.m. Tuesday. The Monday show is mainly to give the kids a chance'to watch each other perform, and there's a' good chance of bustling about as classes move between the stage and the audience. But there are . always some adults in this performance: Either one, should be fun, take your pick. LIVERPOOL VS. HAMBURG Liverpool defeated Hamburg 7-1 on aggregate to win the super European Cup.

Annie will be reporting on community happenings in the Roberts Creek area. She is supervisory aide at Roberts Creek Elementary and works one day a week at Seaview Market; her husband Clifford works at Port Mellon. Annie and Clifford have five children, ranging from twins in Grade 2 to a married son who not so long ago made her one of the youngest grandmothers on the peninsula. That ought to be almost enough contacts right there to keep her well informed about goings-on in The Creek. Glad to have you, Annie. While preparations proceeded for the Hospital Auxiliary's Christmas dinner on December 7, members anxiously watched the overcast skies and listened to the , forecasts of snow. But while the forecast may have kept some members away, the 54 members and guests who braved the weather enjoyed an excellent turkey dinner in the cosy atmosphere of an old- fashioned Christmas. Master of Ceremonies was Keith Comyn who welcomed two new members, Mae Parsons with husband John and Stella Maddock with husband George. He complimented the ladies who had prepared the dinner under the con- venorship of Marie Ives and paid special tribute to those who had carried out the delightful decorations. Regret was expressed that Marguerite and Lawaetz Poulsen were unable to be present since Marguerite had given so much of her time,1 thought and talent to planning the decorations. She had planned the snowflake theme and had created a unique design of a jewelled Christmas tree sparkling with Christmas lights. The old- fashioned fireplace with such a clever imitation of a log fire was designed and set up by Ruth and Bob Forrester, and Joan Mackareth was the instructor for the snowflake factory. With the supper things cleared away, came the drawing for the Christmas raffle. Mae Parsons' lovely rose painting was won by Linda Paulhus, and Eunice Keeler, daughter of Alice Burdett, won the Christmas cheer. The grocery hamper was won by Ellen Ryan, the Times advertising lady. Winner of an afghan made by Marguerite Poulson was^ Wes Black,.. and Deanna Nygard won the crib cover donated by a former member, Betty Churchill of Toronto. Art Armstrong won a copper-tooled picture of a sailing barque. COMMUNITY NEWS . Welcome Beach Community Association at its executive meeting last week was concerned mainly with winding up community matters before closing the hall for renovations.during the first two weeks of January. It was reported that there are now 113 paid up members and, that most of the regular activities are in recess. There had been complaints about the picture of the Queen, which had been damaged in the mail, and it was decided to replace it. The Christmas dinner of the association will be at the hall on Saturday, December 17, at 6:30 p.m. All tickets are now sold. News arriving from the North Pole is that Santa is busy preparing gifts for the children of the Bay and plans to deliver them personally at the Childrens' Christmas party at the hall on Sunday, December 18, at 7 p.m. A New Year's Eve party is also being planned by the Welcome Beach Community Association. Members interested should get in touch with secretary Olive Comyn at 885-2378. ' Dick and Yvonne Manton have sold their home in Halfmoon Bay where they have lived for more than 10 years and have moved to Courtenay where they have bought a dairy farm with 50 cows. They and their children, Starr and Ross, are most enthusiastic about their new life. The family wUl be very badly missed in Halfmoon Bay for they have been good neighbours and good workers for the community. Dick worked for some years at Port Mellon, and both he and Yvonne have given valuable service on the Halfmoon Bay ambulance. They are both qualified first-aiders and Yvonne is a registered nurse. She is also an expert needlewoman who has given courses in sewing and has been responsible for designing and creating some of the delightful costumes used in school plays. The best wishes of the community go with them in their new venture. Though we failed to mention it in our write up of the opening of the Halfmoon Bay firehall, there are two women members of the Halfmoon Bay fire brigade. They are Joan Clarkson and Hazel Berthelet who are taking the full fire training and Hazel hopes to be qualified first-aider after the tests on December 19. High score winner of the cribbage game on December 4 was George Murray with Nancy Lawson as runner up.

Gordon Dickson, Works Superintendent , bittrue Id now have to work longer to collect Unemployment Insurance?5* Yes. Parliament has decided that the qualification time should be longer everywhere, and that people who live in areas of high unemployment should be given certain advantages over those who live in areas where jobs are more plentiful. Which means that you now need more insurable work weeks to qualify for Unemployment Insurance benefits. "I can sec why. But just how long would I have to work to be eligible?" From 10 ro 14 weeks, depending on where you live. In regions of low unemployment, claimants need up ro 14 weeks of insurable employment to get UI benefits. r11iis will only happen in places where it's easier to get and keep a job. In regions of high unemployment, claimants now need as little as 10 weeks to qualify. "Docs this mean Td get less or that the payments wouldn't last as long?^ No change in payment amounts. The I 'I Ix'nelit nite slays at two-thirds of your average weekly insurable earnings. Ihe maximum is $147, less lax. 'ITic maximum time for which anyone may receive benefits has changed slightly, however. rITic old maximum was 51 weeks. Now it's 50 weeks. But since September 11, the rotal number of weeks for which a claimant qualifies has more closely reflected the unemployment rale in his or her region. Right now, wc measure unemployment by dividing (lanada into I(> economic regions. 1 -ater in 1078, wc will fine-tune ihe program to 54 regions so that III will be even more closely related to local labour market conditions. "What else is changing about UI?" Not much. The basic two week wailing |XTiod remains the same everywhere. And so ilo the rules on the waiting period when a claimant has left his or her job for no good reason or been lired for misconduct. In such cases, a claimant may have to wait up lo eight weeks from when employment ends until benefits start. rlTien rheir\ marrmiry, sickness and age 65 benefits. Previously, sickness benefits wen* only payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim. Now they're payable at any time during the entire benefit pcri<xJ. Maternity benefits of 15 weeks and the special one-time benefit (equal to three weeks' benefits) at age 65 remain the same. The same people still pay for the program in tlie same proportions, and the types of employment insurable for UI remain the same, too. uYVould I still go to the same UI office to claim?" As explained in the box below, you still go to the familiar locations for both UI offices and Canada Manpower Centres. Watch for changes in your area. Unemployment Insurance has changed for everyone's benefit, including yours. All wc ask is that you remember your obligations as well as your rights. lf tlie need should ever arise for you to come to us, we'll make sure you get all the UI benefits to which you are entitled by law.

The 1978 rates are effective March 1. Autoplan renewal forms and information on premiums for specific vehicles will be mailed to drivers this month. Accident-free drivers for the year ending September 1,1977, will have rates averaging four to 10 percent lower next year. Increases for drivers with blameworthy accident records maybe as high as 25 percent to 30 percent, depending on the vehicle and rate category. ICBC vice-chairman Ralph Gillen said Friday the crunch on bad drivers is a result of the "alarming trend" in bodily injury settlements, showing an increase from an average cost-per-claim of $2,600 in February, 1975, to $6,400 in October, 1977. Main features of the rate changes are: ��� Discounts will be 25 percent for drivers with a claim-free record between October 1,1975 and September 30,1977. k ��� Drivers with a one-year claim-free record to September 30, 1977, will get a discount of 15 percent. The safe driving discount in the 1977 premium year was 17% percent. -- The average premium decreases for drivers who qualify for the 15 percent discount, and who had no discount this year, will be $24. ��� For those who qualified for the 17V. percent discount this year, and qualify for 25 percent in 1978, the average saving will be $8. ��� For those who got the 17V_ percent discount this year but don't qualify for a 1978 discount, the average increase will be $58. ���' For those who got no discount this year and who don't qualify for one in 1978, the average increase will be $15. ��� ICBC will continue the "safe driving incentive grant" of 25 percent for the high risk under-25 single male category. It goes to drivers who are claim-free and who haye accumulated not more than five driving offence points between January 1 and September 30. * ��� Drivers with six or more penalty points will be charged extra, up to a maximum $400. ICBC will substantially increase rates for taxis, buses and logging trucks because of heavy claims records. Rates for taxis will rise 15 to 20 percent, 20 percent for buses and up to 50 percent for logging trucks. Commercial vehicles in general face an average eight percent increase. Gillen also announced two new features for the 1978 Autoplan year. Motorists who disagree with adjusters or estimators may now have their claims reviewed by senior ICBC officials. Vehicles which have been substantially altered from their original manufactured condition will, now be assessed on a "valued policy." Advertising��� helps you judge good from bad.

These new vans will greatly assist police in , the fight against drinking drivers. ��� They'll be on duty all year 'round. All over B.C. The way the breath alcohol units work is simple. And very effective. Remember that police officers are extremely adept at spotting impaired drivers. There are all sorts of clues. And once a suspected driver is stopped, he or she can now be asked to take a breathalyzer test immediately in a mobile unit. ,if anyone refyses, a criminal charge will result. I&blood/alcohok reading over .08% means a driver is legally impaired. Conviction means a criminal record. Three months or more without a driver's licence. A fine of up to $2,000, or even jail. Just for a first offence. Penalties for second offences are even more severe. Sound tough? For drinking drivers, it's going, to be tough. ANDHERfSWHY. British Columbia has the worst drinking-driving record in Canada. Fifty percent of all drivers killed are legally impaired. Every year, over 300 lives are lost. And many more individuals are disfigured, disabled or crippled. Every year, drinking-driving accidents cost us, the taxpayers of B.C., millions and millions of dollars. Something simply has to be dono. And it has to be done by responsible, socially-conscious citizens. Your sense ot social responsibility is ono of the first things alcohol affects. Drinking drivers simply don't caro. Alcohol is a drug with subtlo and variod effects on the mind and body, and is dangerous because so few people actually understand it. For instance, one drink, combined wilh some typos ol modicinos, can cause impairment five times greater than just one drink alone. Alcohol also distorts oyo focus by relaxing certain oyo muscles. It affects a driver's ability to judge distance, distinguish colour, and to see potential dangers to olthor sldo of the car, through a phenomenon known as tunnel vision. Wilh a drinking driver's sense of responsible action reduced, his vision clouded, and n lethal weapon like a car barely under his control just how much chance do you, the responsible citizen, have to avoid an accident? 'Iho odds are not on your side. Statistics show thai if you're driving between th�� hours ot midnight and 3 a.m.. one out of ovory three drivers thai approach you on Ihe road has boon drinking And as many as one out of every 10 is drunk. What constitutes drunk? In Canada the legal definition of impairment is a blood/alcohol reading of over .08%. That means the proportion of alcohol is over 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. A person's size, weight, emotional state, metabolism and number of drinks consumed over a period of time determine how quickly the legal limit is reached. Bear in mind that a person with a BAC (blood/alcohol content) of .08% will not necessarily feel drunk. Or evon g"iddy. But his vision, reaction time and sense of social responsibility are seriously affected. And the facts aro that drinking drivers simply do not sober up that easily. Black coffee will not help. Nor a cold shower. 95% of the alcohol in the systom is eliminated through the liver. And that takes considerable time. So what can we do? We've got to be more socially responsible. All of us, HOttl HOW YOU CAN HBP COUNTROTACK THEDRMKMGMnnNGMENAOL Whon going to a party or out for an evening -plan ahead. Flip a coin, DRINKING DRIVING COUNTER/fflACK or in some way arrange for the driver not to drink. Consider the cost of a cab or bus fare as a necessary expense for the evening. Remember, it isn't an offence to be an impaired passenger! If you are the host or organizer of a home or office party -plan ahead. Be responsible for getting your guests home safely. If you see a car weaving down the road, fading over the double line or otherwise indicating the driver might be impaired...get to a phone. Call the police. In addition to these individual actions, you can do something else... GIT INVOLVED W YOUR COMMUNITY. We are facing an awesome challenge hero In B.C.

Gardom, Attorney-General rtmwm Ik I'll M-mwirf n* ir* Travel The Mackereths of Halfmoon Bay on a Wally Byam tour of Europe Allan and Joan Mackereth, being the proud owners of an Airstream trailer, are eligible to join the tours organized by Wally Byam, who designed and built the first Airstream, and this year they joined a caravan composed of 116 people in 57 trailers bound for Europe. Though these European tours have been held every few years, less than 500 Airstreams have taken part in them, which is^ only a small proportion of the 30,000 Airstream owners who are members of the Wally Byam Club. On the present tour, only five of the trailers were from Canada, the rest being American owned. Caravans are highly organized and accompanied by several Airstream personnel including a leader, a recreation director and a mechanic. On tour, the caravan becomes a town on wheels with a duly elected council. Leaving Halfmoon Bay on January 26,, the Mackereths drove south to San Diego, across the southern states and into Florida as far south as the Everglades. As they returned north by Fort Pierce, they had their first setback. Joan broke a bone in her foot and for the next part of the journey, she wore a cast and walked with crutches. Three weeks later a doctor in Virginia replaced the cast with a walking cast arid at Somerville, .JJew Jersey, yet another doctor took off the waling cast, but the foot remained painful for quite a time. At Elizabeth, New Jersey, the drivers lined up their vehicles to be taken aboard the Atlantic! Saga, a vessel of the Atlantic Container Line. Its upper deck carries containers and it has four decks which can accommodate 950 cars. Meanwhile, the passengers were taken to Kennedy Airport, New York, for the flight to Heathrow Airport. During 10 days while awaiting the arrival of their vehicles, they explored England and Scotland by bus, did a city tour of London and crossed to the continent. They picked up their vehicles at Antwerp apd the caravan was on its way. GOURMET FOODS As they travelled southward through France, Joan enjoyed the delicious goumet foods served in so many of the restaurants. At St. Lo she had a delicious meal of lamb fed onsalt marshland and at a tiny restaurant in Biarritz, she enjoyed a bowl of Mussels in a piquant spicy sauce' which tasted better than any clams she had ever had. The caravan received a warm welcome from many of the cities where they made camp. One town welcomed^-them with a*- bouquet of roses and freesia for each trailer. Several others welcomed them with a motorcycle escort or put on a reception for them. At Nice, in the south of France, they were entertained at a champagne reception at the city hall on the Promenade des Anglais. But it was the good citizens of the ancient city of Burgos who went all out in the warmth of their welcome. The caravan was met on arrival and the passengers were taken on a bus tour of the surrounding countryside. A reception was held in their honor, with lavish and epicure foods such as caviar anchovies and the Spanish type transparent ham which they were to enjoy all over Spain. The Mackereths visited the superb 13th century Gothic cathedral which ls con1 sidered to be one of the noblest in the world and which contains many beautiful chapels and fine wood carvings. Of particular interest to them was the Monastry of laa Cartuja of Miraflores, which contains the tomb of Don Juan II and Isabella of Portugal, as well as asome fine carvings In alabaster. They found little to Interest them in Madrid, apart from a tapestry factory with looms over 300 years old, where weaving is still done In the old manner. Tapestries made by this proceBS are valued at $2,500 a square yard. On their travels through Spain, they saw many signs of trip Moorish domination. They passed the ancient and picturesque city of Avila with its narrow, cobblestone .streets and Moorish walls and towers. They were delighted with Toledo, a walled Moorish city overlooking the River Tugus. It was once the capital of Gothic Spain and has a .superb Gothic cathedral second in Spain only to that of Burgos, IMUiltlMAGE TO PATIMA Travelling In Portugal between ('olmbrn and Lisbon, they saw many pilgrims on their way to Fntima for a pilgrimage which is held every four years. The women carried big bundles on their heads and uuiny of litem walked Iwtrefooted for the four-day pilgrimage. While encamped at Lisbon, the Mackereths accompanied some friends by car to the nearby seaside resort of lOstoiil, and while thoy were sightseeing, the car was' broken Into and their travellers' cheques stoh'H. They were replaced tlie Maine day and Ihe MackcretliH and their N^J'Np.'^lfcwMJi 4PNj^RP<^^Nt|yM9N||MM|(4M Tho Church of the Holy Fomily Cowrie St., Sechelt DECEMBER 22nd, 6 pm Musk hy theChorittert OlUflng for Sov* th* Children Fund l: li*P'%eNi|s<^ifs*Nite^^eNlfea^^N%^aN|ieK(^^p hosts considered themselves fortunate that the thieves had not taken their piassports and visas which could not have been so easily replaced. Between Lisbon arid Evora, there were groves of cork trees, the only trees in the world which regenerate their bark and which can be stripped every nine years. t Back to Spain, the caravan made its next stop at Seville which has been a Roman Colony and a Moorish kingdom. At Tarifa,-the southernmost point of continental Spain, they were close to Gibraltar, but were unable to enter the base from Spain. MOROCCO BY HOVERCRAFT From Algerciras, the Mackereths travelled by Hovercraft across the Straits of Gibraltar to Tangier, to find themselves suddenly in a different world ��� a world of camels, veiled women, snake charmers and belly dancers. Seated at low tables in a typical Moroccan restaurant with red velvet furnishings, whey were served with exotic: entertainment and awful food. Returning to Algeciras, they iojlpwed the Mediterranean coast to Malaga and then turned inland through grape growing country to Granada, an ancient Moorish city beautifully situated on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada range. Here is the famous palace of the Alhambra with its magnificient gardens,. courts and fountains. At Generalife, which is part of the vast Alhambra complex, the gardens are even more spectacular. It is the usual policy of an Airstream caravan to space out its trailers and avoid' travelling in a tight convoy. However, on their arrival at Valencia they were given a royal welcome by three levels of police who did their, outmost to herd the trailers along like a flock of sheep. They took their responsibilities most seriously, maintaining their protective guard of the caravan throughout its stay, working in shifts, Valencia has a museum of ceramics and a fine modefn factory which produces the exquisite Lladro porcelain, comparable to Royal Copenhagen or Hummel. BLACK MADONNA OF MONTSERRAT Generally, the Mackereths found the cities of Spain and many of the organized tours rather commercialized but they saw much that was beautiful and unspoiled. One of their happiest memories is bf the city of Guadalajara with its red soil, unbelievably blue sky and masses of wild fldwers. .Nortti of Barcelona, they discovered Montserrat, a most lovely spot. High above the altar of the small church is a Black Madonna, darkened by centureis of smoke from the altar candles and framed with three-quarters of a ton of "solid silver. The food was extremely good throughout the country and they saw some interesting Spanish dancing by flamenco dancers and dancers form northern Spain whet beat their own time with drums and castpnets. In many parts of Spain they saw storks nesting on church steeples or other, high .spots, often with nests of fledgelings. Crossing 'into France, they drove through mile after mile of vineyards. At Avignon they camped on an island in the river, surrounded by castles. ASCENT OF THE JUNGFRAU Having a three-day stop at Genoa, the Mackereths decided to,leave their trailer and tour Switzerlandby car with two friends. By way of Milan and the St. Gotthard Pass, they arrived at Interlaken. The ascent of the 3,454 meter Jungfrau was made by three trains, the last of which took them through nine miles of tunnel to the tiny railway station at the summit, which is the highest railway station injthe world. They were particularly fortunate with Weather and visibility and had spectacular views over the majestic Bernese Oberland. This ,was one of the most memorable experiences ofctheir tour. They visited Montreaux in its idyllic setting on Lake Geneva and saw the 13th century castle of Chillon which inspired Lord Byron's "Prisoner of Chillon". They liked Switzerland for its majestic peaks, its neat, clean farms, its Alpine flowers and meadows like green velvet.

Gibsons RCMP had observed his car travelling without headlights along Gower Point Road. When given a breathalyzer test John, who plays the role of Jessie in the CBC drama, had a reading of .24. Judge Ian Walker imposed the minimum 14 day sentence on John and ordered him to serve it in Oakalla. The defence had asked for an intermittent sentence which could have been served in Sechelt. In a second case before the judge Jeanette Gladeau was convicted of shoplifting two items from the Link Hardware Store in Sechelt. Aasked why she had pocketed a $19.05 socket set and a $27.95 metric socket package Gladeau replied "I don't know, I was just bored. It was .something to do." Gladeau said she had stolen the goods for a friend. She whs given n conditional discharge and placed on probation for three months. Walker al.so ordered her to personally apologize to the store manager within a week. In another decision handed down last week, Ken Miles was found guilty of being a minor in possession of alcohol.

Well, in square dancing the year does go by fast. Next yea^s plans for square dancing somewhere else, or plans to have other clubs coming in to visit you, are all made months ahead. Yes, these are much more pleasant thoughts than property taxes, income taxes going up, cost of living up half way to the moon. Why not join square dancing and give all your other problems a rest at least once or twice a week and by the way, I haven't been up before the local judge with an .08 reading because there is no alcohol in square dancing. That reminds me of the fellow that was picked up really sloshed and was taken before the courts. The judge said, you have been brought here for drinking. Well good, the fellow said, let's get on with it, I will have a tall rye and a beer chaser, hic-up! No, no,'the judge said, you were brought here because you were found drunk while driving. Of course, the fellow said, I had to drive, I was too drunk to walk. Well, said the judge, we are not getting anywhere here so the. sentence' I am giving you is to go straight home and .tell your wife she wants you. The feUow was last heard from saying, Opt NO, not that.. - Last Friday night with Harry Robertson at the controls, the evening went by very quickly with thie help of three sets. At coffee time the Christmas square dance party with an exchange of gifts, fancy food and the beginners' class joining us next Friday night, that's December 16, should be a wonderful evening Panel of two callers, maybe more. All square dancers welcome, bring your own cookie. Ellen Marshall, Flo Robertson, Sid Conroy and past president Lloyd Scrimshaw have now joined the 39ers birthday club, and we wish them many more happy years of square dancing. The New Year's square dance will be held at The United Church Hall in Gibsons this year. That's December 31. More on this next week, so I will leave now with this thought in mind. No man ever reached a goal without wanting to get there. I didn't know that. Have a good day and see you Friday night to the tune of Jingle Bells. Advertising.^ helps you compare.

The December 8 decision by trustees not' to cover an anticipated deficit of $3,700 means 34 local students who have completed first year English and pyschology courses will now ha^e to wait until September before they can go on with their studies. In presenting the motion at last week's meeting at Langdale Elementary School, District Supt. John Denley explained that while the board's provisional budget contained funds to cover the deficit, the budget would not be given final approval by the trustees for several more months. ''The, funding must be secured now if the courses are to start on time," Denley said- Trustee Claus Speikermann replied, "I'm not in favour of this as 'fs just an additional cost to the taxpayer. We've a five mill rate increase (announced recently by the Ministry of Education), arid we don't know our total assessment yet I really feel this kind of thing is the responsibility of the. provincial govern ment, not the homeowner." Agreeing with Speikermann, Trustee Maureen Clayton said, "I think it's difficult to pass this type of request now when we are all aware our budget will have to be closely scrutinized." After the motion was defeated, Board Chairman Celia Fisher said the results were not an indication thattrustees were against college courses. "We are all aware of the tight fiscal situation that exists now," she told the meeting. Denley suggested that if Capilano wanted to offer the January courses then student fees should be raised to cover all costs. Earlier this year, the Sechelt school district formally allied itself with Capilano College in expectation of total government, funding of post-secondary education, due to start next September. Currently, college courses are paid for by local taxpayers. This year 7,600 Canadian women will be found to have breast cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society advises women to practise breast self-examination regularly to facilitate early detection, The quarterly increase in the basic old age security pension will raise monthly payments from $150.43 to $153.44.) effective in January, 1978. The maximum guaranteed income supplement, which is. paid to those with, limited income other than the basic pension, will also increase���from $93.69 to $95.56 for married pensioners, for example. When both pension and supplement are combined, the maximum total payments to an unmarried individual will be $261.06. Total payments to a married couple who are both pensioners will be $498. Persons 60 to 65 years old who are married to pensioners are paid a spouses allowance. This increases from $244.12 to $249 and is paid according to yearly income. ,' . ��� Allowance, too Family allowance payments will rise in January, 1978 to compensate for increases in the cost of living. Revised annually, the allowance for children under 18 will rise from $23.89 to $25.89 in B.C. and most other provinces; Alberta and Quebec vary the rates according to the age or number of children in a family. More than $173 million each month in family allowances* was paid by the federal government to 3.6 million families, EAL ESTATE APPRAISALS NOTARY PUBLIC DENTAL BLK.

HERE IS A STORY TOLD BY BERNADINE LEE, 9 YRS. OLD Nov. 25,1977 The Lost Girl HELP SANTA FIND HIS SLEIGH! It's Christmas Eve and Santa's In a hurry. He's got lots of presents to deliver. But he's got a problem, he's lost his sleigh. Can you help htm find It before It's too late? There are 7 paths & only one will get him there. Good Luekf By Erik Wagman Age 9 Patricia Hammond, age 4V�� Here are some more Christmas Thoughts by Grades 2,3 & 4 from Davis Bay Elementary. Once upon a time a little girl named Melinda. She was a bad girl one day and tier dad spanked her. So she ran away the next day. The father and mother was very lonely. The little girl was very scared. She cried day and night while she walked in the deep deep dark forest, until she heard someone singing, it went like this. Skip, skip, skip to my lou skip, skip, skip to my lou skip, skip, skip to my lou , and she heard a big SKIP TO MY LOU MY DARLANG. And when she kept on hearing that, she started to dance till she met the person that was singing the song. She said, "Who ara you?" and he said "I am an elf call me Marty and so who are you?" "I am Melinda," she replied. He said "Melinda, Melinda what a nice name you got." "Thank you" she answered. "I am lost, I ran away from home Marty what am I going to do," she said very sadly. "I will pop a horse for you to ride on, it knows where you live just say alima to go and tana to stop," he replied. So she did what she was to do, but she was still sad because she missed Marty very, very much she thought to herself saying always, "I wish Marty could come home with me." When she redched home, she was happy but one thing was wrong Marty wasn't there. When she went to bed. Marty was there and the Mom and Dad said, "You may keep him." She was very happy.

Trying to look objectively at a book by , Canadian authors is something like "seeing yourself .as others see you." It is especially difficult when the author is as delightful a person as Elisabeth Hopkins. A resident of Galiano Island, she is a swingy looking lady of 83 with the latest sassy haircut, body bedecked in boutique , overalls and denim shirt. To go along with her image of youth is her sharp comment, "I 4o hope I live-long enough to see the book published." She did, and I suspect this isn't the last we will hear from her. She is another Grandma Moses in that her entrance into the world of serious art began at a ripe age. Her early education was in Europe and the U.S. For her, life began at 60 .when she made "a decision to moveto Canada. Like other artists seeking an atmosphere of calm and beauty, she settled in Victoria. Her associations with Victoria artists, Bobak and MacDonald,) helped her enter; the painter's .world.. Gallery shows confirmed her unusual, primitive.jt^le.^ . .',"'' * Her work has been cconpared to that of Beatrix Potter and Henri Rousseau. Evident in the book are the delicate colours of Potter and the animal fantasy of Rousseau, but lacking is the sophistication of the two more famous artists. Illustrations in THE PAINTED COUGAR are very Unorthodox. The perspective is amiss ��� perhaps a deliberate affectation but I suspect hot. The drawing ability is completely missing and as laboured as that of a child. The background is incongruous, to say the 'least.: Houses, tables and chairs defy the laws of gravity and perspective. Figures seem to be scattered aimlessly on the page as though dropped there at random in an attempt to disassociate them with others. Cute little "things" that often defy in- dentification peep out from behind lumpy rocks and incredible trees. Backgrounds change instantaneously from desert to B.C. coast with a flip of the page. At times methinks Hopkins is trying to combine all other children's illustrators into one, and what comes out is not the real Elisabeth Hopkins at all. Potter's mice and Rousseau's snakes with Ardizonne's watercolour drawings are what Hopkins does. Not having seen any of her other work makes it hard to judge the sincerity: <jf the illustrations, ,, v; , . As for the story, it is quite impossible if one subscribes to reason.. Leon, the Jion, falls in love with LutIuiq and goes to town to sefcj&nw he caiy win her.-' (^aparentljr hj�� misses her love-sick gaze as he depart^ He meets a beflowered snake who paints ''things" all over him and a jackdaw who gives him a watch and a locket before returning to Lurline. The lions Wed after Lurline licks all the pain oS Leon and ihe two "live happily ever, after" which includes having a family. The typical Ihjjr? meets-girl plot. But along theway fceon - sees and does things that have nothing to: do with the story at all: an ^bandonpd picnic table, a man drinking l&grClh hjs yard and a dragon. V /.' , ,y Knowing children and jAct^ire bbo%, ' however, I have an uncanny feefing that , youngsters may find the book appealing, regardless of what we adults have to say., They may find the primitive drawings akin to their own attempts at perspective - and figure rendering. They may find the colours delicious: chocolate milk'brown, ��� icing pink, green and blue and huckleberry red. The fact that objects are spread so far apart just might make it easier for the child to ponder on each one, enjoying, it time after time. The outline, drawings carefully painted in, nughtrpmind a little che of his or her own colouring pook.work. The fantastic plants and a.ninaal8 and the switching from desert to foresight well be quite reasonable tor ail -imaginative youngster. . '' >, ,'' One quarrel which no one can have with the book, is its adherence to ttie.rule,of large type and wide readings as well as the choice of suitable vocabulary for primary school readers. I h9pe Ms. Hopkins has time to write more of her fantastic books and keep us all guessing.

WESTERN DRUG MART Sunnycrest Centre, Gibsons 886-7213 Sechelt under the snows of yesterday These three photographs from the collection of Helen Dawe reveal that while Sechelt's winter weather hasn't changed much over the years, Sechelt has. For instance.the man strolling down a quiet country lane with his dog would be in some jeopardy repeating his walk along the same road today. That's wharf street, originally Porpoise Bay Road, looking north. The Bank of Montreal now stands in ttie place of the fenced field at the left of the photograph. The house in the background was known as the "Barn Cottage" about 1919, The barn is obscured by the house. The date of the photograph is unknown but it was probably taken around 1920. The wharf is the Sechelt Wharf; the near wharfhead was originally built for Bert Whitaker. When the Union Steamship Co, purchased the wharf and other properties from Whitaker's estate in April, 1926, the wharf was lengthened and the second, larger wharfhead added. The breakwater in the third photograph extended from the wharf to the "Beach House" (the three-storey residence barely visible at left). It was built in 1926 or 1927 by Union Steamship. Although made of concrete, it was broken by storms after only one year. The Parthenon Restaurant - now stands in place of the grove of trees at right. The photographs of the wharf and the breakwater were taken by E.S. Clayton, probably during the winter of 1926-27. They are printed here courtesy of Mrs. Florrie Clayton.

Medical science has tamed the scourges of former times ��� diphtheria, influenza, polio and tuberculosis. Today, a Canadian's life is far more likely to be impeded by his own lifestyle ��� by smoking, alcohol, fatty foods, obesity, lack of exercise, or carelessness driving the car. For this reason, heart disease and lung cancer are sometimes referred to as "diseases of choice", and health professionals now study lifestyle, behaviour and environment as well as me$��3l sciep^js, $$vha��vioural, problems with, medical, consequences cannot be cured with medicine alone. Dr. R. O. Keelor, Director of Program Development, President's Council on Physical Fitness and sports, addressed the Blue Shield Annual Program Conference in Chicago. The following excerpts are taken from his paper. "Habitual inactivity" is a prime factor in the poor health of millions of Americans. It is thought to contribute to hypertension, chronic fatigue and resulting physical inefficiency, premature aging, the poor musculature and lack of flexibility which are the major causes of lower back pain and injury, mental tension, coronary heart disease, and obesity. By contrast, studies have reported that regular exercise can improve the efficiency of the heart and circulation and reduce blood pressure levels in individuals with hypertension". Wow! It makes you think twice about whether you should leave that nice comfortable armchair after supper to attend an aerobic dance class, or to take liim up on it when your son suggests you Join him in a game of floor hockey at the local hall. The working environment has evolved rapidly in recent times. A century ago, fields were tilled by men and animals and the furnaces of industry were stoked with muscle power. In 1850 human muscles provided nearly one third of the energy used by workshops, factories, and farms. Today, the comparable figure is less than one per cent, but the human body has not evolved. Its muscular, respiratory, and circulatory systems were designed for ��� and require ��� regular and vigorous use. Exercise alone is no panacea, but the medical evidence is ovenvhelming. People who live sensibly and keep fit are healthier, feel better and Uve longer. It's worth a thought. ��� Robi Peters.

"I feel that over the past four years trustees have worked conscientiously to establish trust and confidence in the school board. "For parents and the public this was accomplished by adding a 'Questions and Inquiries' period to the agenda, moving our meetings about the school district, sampling public opinion on areas of importance, making all agenda material available, establishing a policy on what items would be considered 'In Committee" and establishing an agreed upon agenda for our "In Committee' sessions. In general, we tried to create an atmosphere of openness. '/For > teachers and the Sechelt Teachers Association this trust and confidence was accomplished by establishing the Liason committee, contributing to, and participating in, the professional development committee and going on retreats with the STA and principals. "For the Sechelt Indian Band this trust and confidence was accomplished by meeting with them and listening to their concerns, holding public school board meetings in their council room and creating with them the Native Environmental Studies Program. This program has been one of the most rewarding in terms of developing mutual trust between the board and the band. I am confident this co-operation will continue. "We have worked with the communities on the Sunshine Coast. Our 'Joint Use' agreement with the regional board will enable the two boards to provide better community services. In Gibsons, our advice was sought in the design of their swimming pool and we will be developing a school swim program. There has been recognition of. the Bowen Island community school concept. We have encouraged Uie Pender Harbour area to start developing their concept of ^a community school, The board has made a policy commitment to develop a co-ordinated continuing education program. We have held budget-sharing meetings with the councils, regional board and the press. "Developing an atmosphere of trust and mutual confidence is essential if we are to continue to provide service to the students. We have developed programs for children with exceptional needs. We have appointed a co-ordinator of Special Education, we haVe a Learning Assistance Program and Alternate schools. There was a smooth takeover of the Sunshine Schools. We have hired two special counsellors and made a budget commitment to the 'Extended Experience' program. Student cultural experience is, again, a budget commitment. We place emphasis on our kindergartens and are committed to small class sizes. We have passed a bylaw to make one of our two regular monthly meetings and educational meeting. This meeting, held in the district schools, highlights and features programs and staff in our district. "We have made a budget commitment to upgrade the facilities and grounds of Elphinstone, Gibsons Elementary, Egmont, Langdale, Pender Harbour and Madeira Park schools. We have increased the busTOutes and purchased a niini-bus. "The board members, teachers, CUPE and maintenance staff have all worked hard to provide first class service to the students and to the public of this school district and have accomplished this in spite of two fires that increased everyone's work load enormously. "There is one other group that I would like to mention for the service they provide to the students and that is "the growing number of citizens who volunteer in the schools. Their value to the schools cannot be estimated and they have a commitment to and a belief in our youth. "I feel that this board and past members Agnes Labonte, Joe Horvath, Jack McLeod and Pat Murphy consciously worked to make this level of government ��� the board ��� respond and not act negatively. "There will always be areas that require improvement and changes to be made, i The mutual trust that has been created between us and the community can help these changes happen more quickly." Fisher has been a member of, the Sechelt school board for four years and its chairman since 1975. She did not seek reelection in November in order to have more time to do volunteer classroom work at Cedar Grove Elementary.

That's where Kathy Bower's car ended up recently when a dog darted in front of her on the icy highway at Davis Bay. Bower was not injured, and damage to her car was minimal. ���Timesphoto Sechelt Village Council has asked Municipal Affairs Minister Hugh Curtis for legislation which would allow a municipal regional board director to be appointed from council rather than elected directly by the public. In a December 6 letter to Curtis, Village Clerk Tom Wood noted that in last month's election, for the second consecutive election, none of the village candidates for the board was elected to council. The Municipal Act requires that a municipal representative to the regional board also be a member of council. Sechelt Alderman Morgan Thompson was appointed by the board last week as Sechelt's representative. Wood's letter stated, "For those who argue on the ethics of a village director's position on a regional board, we feel that a village director should represent the views of the village council as an area director is supposed to represent the views of his constituents." Allowing council to appoint the director "would eliminate the need for expensive duplication of elections, which in councils of this size as often as not prove to be useless," according to the letter.
